So what if Shen Yu discovered his secret?
Prince Yueqing sneered in his heart when he thought of the mechanism that could not be opened at all.
Not to mention the Dali Temple, even the emperor cannot frame him without evidence.
"Shen Yu also said that there is a mechanism in the prince's house, and Princess Yueqing is locked in it." Lord Du looked at Prince Yueqing with a smile, "Whether Princess Yueqing is still alive, I will know after searching the palace."
When he heard the words "search the mansion", the smile on Prince Yueqing's face disappeared. He stood up and spoke in a very impolite manner.
"Master Du, my palace is not something that can be searched by just any random person."
Lord Du was not angry. It was expected that Prince Yueqing would not let him search.
"Your Highness, we at the Dali Temple are here to investigate under the orders of the Emperor. Could it be that you, Your Highness, are refusing to obey the Emperor's orders?"
"Lord Du said it was the emperor's intention, but what about the imperial edict?"
As soon as Prince Yueqing finished speaking, the emperor's majestic voice came.
"Can't I search my brother's palace with my oral order?"
The emperor walked in holding Yu Yiluo, accompanied by Concubine Shu.
Several people in the room knelt down and saluted.
【Hehe, you came at the right time. 】
"Brother Emperor, that's not what I meant."
Prince Yueqing lowered his head, secretly cursing the emperor for being so idle that he even came to join in the fun.
"Since that's not what you meant," the emperor looked at Lord Du, "Lord Du, why don't you go search?"
After the emperor finished speaking, he asked Prince Yueqing to stand up and said earnestly: "Don't worry, my brother, if Shen Yu lies, I will clear your name."
Prince Yueqing said with a forced smile, "Thank you, my Royal Brother."
…
Lord Du and Yang Wen returned quickly after the search.
"Your Majesty, there is indeed a mechanism in Prince Yueqing's room, but it cannot be opened."
[The tyrant did this on purpose. If you can open it yourself, why did you ask Concubine Shu to come?]
"Is there really a trap in my room?"
Prince Yueqing pretended to be surprised, but he was relieved in his heart. Since the mechanism could not be opened, what would be the use of discovering it? He didn't believe that the emperor could do anything to him with just a mechanism.
[Was I a garbage bag in my previous life? It really can hold a lot.]
[When the trap is opened later, let's see if you can still pretend.]
"Let's go take a look," the emperor said to Prince Yueqing as he walked out. "Don't worry, my royal brother. Concubine Shu is good at mechanical engineering. I can ask her to help you see what's going on."
[Hahaha, the King of Yueqing was relieved because the mechanism couldn't be opened, but now that you said that, he must be worried again, right?]
[The tyrant must have done this on purpose.]
Prince Yueqing almost bit his back teeth to pieces. No wonder he brought Concubine Shu with him. It seems that the emperor came prepared.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty," Concubine Shu curled her lips, "I will definitely help you open the mechanism."
It turned out that the emperor brought her out to operate the mechanism. It was a good opportunity for her to show off her skills in front of Luo'er and make Luo'er interested.
[Shufei, you know how to finish off the enemy.]
Several people went to the Yueqing Prince's room, and Lord Du pointed to the closet and said, "Your Majesty, the mechanism is in the closet."
Concubine Shu walked forward, squatted down, and took a look at the mechanism. She raised her eyebrows and said, "This mechanism in the prince's wardrobe looks a bit old. It must have been there when the prince built the palace."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes fell on Prince Yueqing.
"Also, the concealment of this mechanism isn't very good."
As he was speaking, the mechanism had already been opened.
Concubine Shu stood up and clapped her hands. It was too unchallenging. She didn't know if Luo'er saw her movements clearly.
"My brother, you are truly careless," the Emperor said as he stepped forward and looked at the mechanism that had opened. "You take out your clothes every day, and you never noticed there was a mechanism in your closet?"
He sighed, "I don't know if it's the same as what Shen Yu said."
Prince Yueqing had a sullen face and said nothing.
Now that the mechanism has been opened, it is inevitable that Yao Xuan will be found. He feels somewhat fortunate that the important things have been delivered to Yang Xin.
When Yao Kang comes to Beijing, he will get rid of Yao Kang and take that position. It won’t be too late to take the things back then.
Anyway, Yang Xin had no interest in the painting and could not figure out the secret within it.
"Your Majesty, I will take someone in to take a look."
Lord Du brought a few people in, and the emperor walked to the chair and sat down.
"Brother Emperor, do you not trust me?"
Prince Yueqing walked up to the emperor and said, "Xuan'er is my princess consort. How could I possibly imprison her?"
The Emperor looked at Prince Yueqing with a half-smile, "Royal brother, you really won't cry until you see the coffin. Let me tell you why you imprisoned Yao Xuan. Of course, it's because of the Yao family's mine."
His tone was very calm, and Prince Yueqing stood there in a daze as if struck by lightning.
How did the Emperor know this? Who told the Emperor?
[Speaking of the mine, didn't the secret guard say that Prince Yueqing went to see Yang Xin and gave her something? Could that thing be holding a secret?]
[Oh my goodness, could it be a mine map? Could it be that the King of Yueqing was so clever as to think that the most dangerous place is the safest place, and therefore left the important things with Yang Xin?]
【It would be interesting if that were the case.】
"What mine?" Prince Yueqing came to his senses and said calmly, "I don't know what your Majesty is talking about."
"Your Majesty, this is what we found inside."
Lord Du brought the people who went in out with a chain in his hand.
Prince Yueqing was dumbfounded again. How could there be only the chain left? Where was Yao Xuan?
"That's enough," the emperor stood up. "Now that we have caught the criminal red-handed, take the Prince of Yueqing to the Dali Temple first."
"Brother Your Majesty, I do not understand what it means to catch someone red-handed."
There's only one chain, and the key...
Prince Yueqing suddenly thought of something, and all the things that seemed strange to him before made sense when he connected them together.
The mechanism could not be opened and the purse was missing, so Yang Xin helped him find it.
"It seems that my brother understands now," the emperor noticed the look on Prince Yueqing's face and gave him a positive answer, "Yao Xuan has been rescued by my people and brought to the palace."
Prince Yueqing suddenly burst into laughter, and all the gentleness in his body disappeared, and his voice became gloomy.
"Brother, my father said you were suspicious by nature, so he gave me a will. It's true that I imprisoned Yao Xuan, but this is my family affair. You can't just imprison me in the Dali Temple for this, right?"
[Oh, you're bringing up the late emperor already! The will is indeed a problem, but you're not the only one with one.]
"You yourself promised Father back then, are you thinking of going back on your word now?"
Prince Yueqing shook off the people who wanted to arrest him and walked out.
The late emperor truly had the tyrant under his thumb. Judging by the Prince of Yueqing's boastful expression, I'm sure the late emperor also gave him the tyrant's written guarantee.
[A tyrant cannot go back on his word, but the boss around Shu Yan has something that can make the King of Yue Qing die.]
The emperor had heard the word "big boss" before, but Luo'er never mentioned it again. The big boss around Du Shuyan?
Isn't the second brother the only one with her?
